Welcome to the show. Today we are bringing you a special bonus episode made possible by the National Art Pass.

Now visiting art galleries and exhibitions isn't just a lovely thing to do at the weekend. It really does improve our overall well-being.

The National Art Pass gives people access

to the UK's best-known cultural attractions and hidden gems.

So in this episode, you'll hear us doing just that,

as we explore one of London's most loved galleries, Tate Britain.

And we're going to be talking to an academic

who can tell us exactly why getting to an art gallery is very good for our health.

And here's a bit of information about the art pass.

It gives you free and half-price entry at hundreds of museums and galleries and costs only £59.25 for an individual pass.

There is also a reduced price for under 30s

and you can purchase plus one and plus kids add-ons.

You can get your pass at artfund.org slash offer.

Now, as you probably have gathered,

we don't know a huge amount about art,

but we are interested.

So we convince the Times chief art critic Laura Freeman to come with us to

Tate Britain, where we talked about stockings, sculptures and self-portraits. So Garvey, where do we find

ourselves? It's not our usual turf, is it? Speak for yourself. We're at Tate Britain,

and we are about to talk to someone who knows so much more about art than we do.

Tate Britain is one of those very accessible, big London galleries right on the River Thames.

It's a particularly beautiful autumnal morning, isn't it?
